I love this one! I've been doing one of your videos every day since November and I really appreciate the option for free workouts. I am disabled and I'm on a fixed income so it means the world to me to have such wonderful workouts to do. I'm feeling great and so is my body!!!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

wow im so happy to hear that! yes I love that they are free as well! ppl really appreciate that aspect and Im glad I can share them with everyone :)

[@81teatime]

I love these workouts!! Put both my boys to bed and look forward to a bit of me time with your exercise videos. Can’t wait to get my body back! Day 5 done!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw I love that!!

[@imstrong8211]

Workout Completed 🥰🥰❤️ I love that is simple and quick!! I can fit these exercises and stretches into my busy morning🙏🏻 thank you 🙏🏻

[@AerialYoga-Goddess]

This is my favorite video so far in your 28 day challenge! It's a challenge to find good workouts that aren't too hard but challenging enough with neck and back injuries! Thank you so much 💖

[@rebeccaKmua]

Love it! The single leg bridge with leg circles nearly killed me, but I did it! My butt feels strong! 💪

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Haha I always gotta do the single leg for you!! 😆😉🍑

[@RebelKat321]

Same!

[@jocelynburgett6787]

Day 5 is done. I love how short the videos are but also they are challenging!

[@jadeparker7665]

Hey! I’m really enjoying your videos! My bubba is 1 now so really wanted to start getting back into shape, I have never done Pilates and although I find some movements challenging I don’t feel myself getting sweaty or heart races I think it’s hard to come out of that mind frame of that I can exercise and enjoy it without feeling sick and like death afterwards! I just pray I’m losing the pounds! On day 5 so far thank you so much! Your body is an inspiration to us mummas!!❤️

[@rachelsfitpilates]

aw thank u! I hope you find they are easy to fit into your day as a mom and that you look forward to doing them!

[@staciecagle4171]

Day 5 complete! I feel great! I’m a 42 year old mom of 5 children. I just had #4 & #5 six months ago. Yes, I’m a proud mom of twins 🙂. Since I’ve begun Pilates, I see an increase in my energy and (drumroll) I’ve lost two lbs already. 🎉 I’m so excited 😊. I can’t wait to see the end results. Thank you Mrs. Rachel. I’ll see you all on day 6. 💪🏽✨

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow that’s amazing to hear!! So glad u are feeling great with this challenge 🥰

[@joanaguine]

Day 5 done! This one was challeging and satisfying! I feel my hips super alive with bloodflow after finishing! Thank you for providing this workouts!

[@mweiniger3700]

Thank you! 😊 Doing your Oct 2024 plan. It is so nice to know I don’t have to do those grueling workouts I used to be able to do to get healthy and strong.

[@MsJclyn]

Thank you so much for making this challenge and keeping these videos on the shorter end. I've been adding this to my regular workouts and it's been making a difference already!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s great! I love you combining them with other exercise🙌🏽

[@fanimotesnitsa8467]

Day 5 done! I haven't done so many abs excersices since 20 years ago. Your voice, your approach keeps me going! Thank you Rachel!!❤❤❤❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw thank u!!

[@LeighannMarkalunas-gd3jc]

Day 5 complete. It’s been a crazy day and I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to get this workout in. So glad I did!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s great! So glad to hear it

[@erinsymone1645]

Day 5 is done. I'm really excited to see how much my core strength improves by the end of the month - it's always been one of my weak spots and I've been scared to do something about it until now!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s great! Keep up the great work and I guarantee you’ll feel the difference 🙌🏽

[@kirstenhiggs9936]

[@rachelsfitpilates]

aw I love that thank u!

[@N0cturnalOwl]

I Started this 6 days ago and my God my back hasn't felt better! I used to have a stiff lower back and its great now! Not only that, I couldn't even get myself off the Mat without rolling but now I can smoothly get up like you do. I'm sore after a couple days but it's such a great improvement in so little time.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow that’s amazing!! I’m so glad to hear that!

[@BariHsini]

[@rachelsfitpilates]

[@daniellajavilles968]

Day 5 done! I loved this, really stretched out my back and I sweated a lot without feeling like dying (referencing day 3 haha)

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Haha! The cardio days are a killer! Glad you kept going ☺️

[@alcirabello9188]

Thanks, I am following the 28 days challenge and I can already see the difference. The muscles do have a memory after all

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wonderful!

[@CharlineArcher]

Finished day 5. This is my 2nd28 day challenge. I did the beginner w8 day challenge then a 7 day. Now this one. I definitely see improvement in stamina and flexibility. Thank-you Rachel for these daily exercises.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow wonderful! So glad you’re here for another challenge 😊

[@CharlineArcher]

Wow. Just finished the workout. Has a super long day on my feet so a bit worried going onto this one but I managed to push through. 😅

[@IsaDelia_Reads]

I love your challenges! I aim to do 20-30 minutes of Pilates in the morning, and 20-30 Wall Pilates at night ❤ Thank you for the videos!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

wow good for u!!

[@jeminamudgway9962]

Day 5 done! 🎉 I love that these workouts are a good pace but still getting that work in!! My muscles are sore but I'm not giving up!!

[@BB-Curlz]

I am recovering from a serious burn out. I wanted to start exercising carefully. I am often still very tired and I regularly suffer from migraines, so unfortunately I am not able to exercise every day. the exercises in combination with your way of talking make me feel relaxed after the exercises! thank you very much for the videos, I really think they will support me well in my recovery❤.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I’m so glad to hear that! I hope they continue to be helpful in your recovery ❤️‍🩹

[@kalalingus7011]

Thanks for your encouragement I finished day 5!!

[@desteneemartinez]

This was a great Abs and glutes workout. Day 5 of the 30 day challenge completed! I didn’t get to go to the track today due to rain. But I completed my 30mins on my stationary bike. See you all tomorrow. Ty Rachel

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wonderful! Great job 👏🏽

[@mishmash2157]

Hi me on day 5...55 yo heavy lady...the leg circles...loved and hated them 🤪 did have to take a break in between got down on myself for that...but can't wait for the day I do all the exercises correctly and finish going this feels great! See you tomorrow because I'm not quitting 😊💪

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great job! So glad u finished!

[@Leanne-j4r]

Day 5 done! So far 5 days done ❤ thank you so much

[@mariafatimaoandasan3991]

Done day 5🎉🎉🎉 Skipped day 4 since its rest day. Thank you again!!!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

you're so welcome! :)

[@elluna-here]

Your workouts are my favorite ❤

[@montserrattoledano3978]

This was coool! I felt it was the right amount of movement I needed today. Thank you ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You're so welcome!

[@TammyMayCormier]

I took a three day break after day four because I was pretty sore (I am very out of shape) and to attend an out of town wedding. By the third evening I was CRAVING a pilates session (also doing rebounder workouts on Jumped&Jacked). On day 5 I already could see improvements! Its getting easier! Today I do day 6 (arm workout) and a 30 min rebounder session. I am so excited I found an excercise routine to get obsessed with again! After a 20 year obsession with traditonal lifting, then a nearly 2 year break after injury (tried and failed to get back into lifting a few times), it feels so good! I also have cut out white wine (my biggest vice) but otherwise no special diet plan...and have lost a half inch from my waist, one inch from biceps (trouble spot for me) and two lbs on the scale.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow that’s great! I have the same vice haha glad you are back and that it’s getting easier!

[@PratikAgrawal-ce1ym]

Day 5 done..love your exercises. Amazing

[@rachelsfitpilates]

thank u!!

[@monanii]

Day 6 Done🎉 thanks ❤

[@abigailkatestewart7395]

DAY 4 LETS GO!!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻(took my rest yesterday and was actually excited to come back!)

[@lorrainewarena6934]

Thank you Rachel another workout done and dusted Day 5.

[@juliettesdesigns]

Day 5 complete!!! Perfect workout that wasn't too hard! My diet has always been good, but I still do some bread and red meat and sugar now and then, so I hope that doesn't effect weight loss too much 😢 I simply can't starve myself lol

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Good you shouldn’t! Just keep being consistent with exercise and small changes to diet .. sometimes adding in healthy habits feels better than taking things out

[@juliettesdesigns]

Thank you :)

[@melissatavares5832]

Day 5 completed :) I really liked this one. Thank you!

[@gingerbreadhouse5669]

day 5 is done❤ The leg bridge one with circle was bit challenging but I am loving the after results I feel so good in my body already evem though i didn't lose a pound. And the stretches are amazingggg Rachel love yaaa❤❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Soo glad! Great job!

[@montserrattoledano3978]

It felt so good. Thank you, Rachel ❤

[@amandamccartie8423]

Ab workouts are so so so hard for me!! But I’m making my way through it! Day 5 done! 😅

[@Tajfitjourney24]

Already day 5:) look forward to these workouts everyday 😊

[@Alex-mu6sm]

I didn't do any of these workouts this weekend. I was still active but I missed pilates. I was worried I wouldn't want to return after that break but I'm still here! I will stick with this! I just have to be realistic and not let me being inconsistent discourage me! 😤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I’m soo glad you are back! Great mindset of not letting it discourage u. We can often self sabotage at that point. But you’re here 👏🏽👏🏽

[@Godfidence282]

[@naomibailey6886]

Day 5 done … following with Day 4 x

[@Shikhasharmash]

I love your workouts. I have been doing these since few months now. I have a question though - the exercises which you do while feet on ground in this vdo and same exercises you do while feet in the wall (example - single leg circle) - so which has high impact the feet on the wall or on the ground ?

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Both would be considered low impact, but if on the wall and bridging up, it’s harder for your core and to maintain stability

[@lizpatinobb3150]

Day 5 done!!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great job!

[@j2cute4u4eva]
